    It turns out the cream was irrelevant for me. I had something called perforating foliculitis - where the hair follicle grows out and then goes back in - it looked like I had zits all over my legs. There is no diffinitive way to treat it so my dermatiologist used me as a case study. We did 10 treatments of laser hair removal, from my ankles to my bikini...

    I was prescribed that cream for a condition I had on my legs. I cannot even imagine putting it on my face. I lasted two treatments, on my legs, before I threw it away. It literally was peeling the top layers of skin off and leaving the raw under layers exposed! If I were you I wouldn't put it on my face - what happens when you go out into the sun? Were...

    Hi Lauren - At least we can still laugh about it, right? When we lose that ability, it'll truly be time to worry...but I have no intentions of that! Anyhow, for hyperglycemia (which is basically what diabetes is, only my pancreas does not work - yours does thankfully!) try researching low glycemic index foods. These foods break down slower into the...

    I definitely empathize with you, and am around your age (29). It sucks every morning when I look at my 3 pill bottles and my insulin pump I wear and say "which first?" I was dxed T1 diabetes at the age of 3 - really this is the least of my problems since I've basically had it my whole life. Diabetes doesn't phase me all that much. When I was 22 my Dr...

    No one in my family will get tested either. The only person that has significant GI issues is my uncle. Well, according to my grandmother he can't have it...because he's a male. I gave him a bunch of literature, but I'll leave it at that. These people are adults, if they want to get tested - fine. If they don't that's fine too. To each his own!

    I have both - diabetic for 26 years, celiac for nearly 1. gluten-free foods are horrible on my blood sugars so I try to stay away from them. I cannot eat waffles, breads, cookies, crackers, cereals without my bs skyrocketing no matter what, so I only eat them occaisionally now. In fact I had some gluten-free raisin bread this morning and I still...

    try googling your name, your friends names and your family members names you'll be amazed at what you find!

    He just doesn't have a glue about food in general. He's hefty, about 350 pounds, and you should see the crap he puts into his mouth. The other day we had frozen burgers left from a cookout. Apparently I've been the one cooking them for him because he takes them out of the freezer and asks why they're yellow. Um...they're not yellow, they're frozen! If...

    You know it truly is amazing what people do NOT know about food. I think I have an advantage, having "hippie" parents that did not allow processed foods and being a T1 diabetic for nearly my whole life. Anyway, my roomate offered me an ice cream sandwich the other day. I informed him that I can't eat that and he looks at me and says: "but you eat chips...

    Geesh - I wish I had seen this yesterday! I do have Sirius (HUGE Howard fan) and would have loved to have heard it. Especially because yesterday I went to my boyfriends new apartment for the first time. I don't know the area very well and I got there late cause I had to take a client to the airport. By the time I got there it was about 9 and most of the...

    Rum is not made from grains, but from sugar cane. So like others have said it would be the flavored ones you'd have to check.

    You may want to remind your sis that since her daughter has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that she is now susceptable to more autoimmune diseases and that she may want to pay attention. See this article: Open Original Shared Link ONE in TEN diabetics develope Celiac disease - I am one of those diabetics. Seriously, she should be way...

    I am so impressed that pizza fed 5 people - I would eat the entire thing - it looks DELICIOUS!!!!

    My company DID the same thing - birthday cakes and cards every month. I was asked to be on the Employee Action Committee and one of the first things I did was eliminate the birthday cakes. It was actually prior to my diagnosis - but I went around the company and asked how everyone felt about it and they agreed that it's more of a pain in the hiney than...

    Interesting - I didn't think there was an age limit on an IUD - my sister has used one since she was 19??? I had a friend on Depo and she gained nearly 100 pounds. Now, I don't think all of that was due to the Depo, but I think it started her on her road to weight gain. I've been on the pill for over 10 years. My boyfriend and I do not use protection...

    I started my college career in culinary school. Like you cooking comes naturally to me and I also am quite good at it. I wasn't dxed till after school, but I was a vegetarian at the time. I actually quit because it was too hard cooking the dishes and not being able to taste them to critique. Not only that but my chefs found it quite difficult to teach...

    Thanks!! I just placed an order as well - I live in NH and ground shipping, for 4 items, was $9.11

    Burping is my #1 symptom, followed by bloating. Everyone just got used to me burping all the time - now they ask why I've stopped - like I was doing it on purpose before!

    I eat the rice noodle soup PACKETS all the time. BJ's sells them at a very kind price, I think $7 for 12 packs? I have yet to have a problem with them - I often ate them pre-diagnosis as well, they are genuinely tasty!

    I know you feel like it's the end of the world, but truly diabetes is a very manageable disease - I've had it, complication free, for 26 years! (dxed at the age of 3). Just so you know there really are no limitations on foods these days. The food limitations are for T2 diabetics that control with diet and exercise. So if your son is dxed he will be able...

    Love the stuff - I was a vegetarian for years and it was a main staple, but I actually like it - didn't eat because I had to or anything! I also cut my block in half prior to pressing...forgot to mention that!

    Hi Elye - If you want to PM me about the pump feel free. I am not a shy person so I will answer absolutely every question you have - what I found most helpful, when I was contemplating the pump (it took me FIVE years to get the courage up!) was a saline run. My CDE let me borrow a pump for a few days and fill it with a saline solution, that she provided...

    I press my tofu, even if it's extra firm. I think it is a very important step - even if you only do it for a half hour. I put my block of tofu on a cutting board, put a piece of tin foil over it, but another cutting board on top, and then put my cuisinart on top of it for weight! Tofu is very durable - and for pad thai you'd want it to be very firm and...
